Being Married

I’ve been officially married for the past 3 days and the classic question that I’ve been asked is this: “How does it feel being married?”

I don’t know the answer to this question. Ruy and I have both agreed that we’ve been essentially married for a long time. We’ve been very committed, breaking-up has never been an option, we’ve accepted each other’s families and have considered the other in all the decisions we make. Having a judge give us a 10 minute talk and sign some documents didn’t marry us. Our marriage started with our commitment to each other several years ago.

So to answer the question, only two things have changed upon our marriage: 1. Our living arrangements (we now live with each other) and 2. Our phone bills (we don’t need to call or text as much as we live together).
